Short answer
Subclass 600 is a Visitor visa for temporary visits to Australia. The right stream depends on why you are travelling.
The subclass 600 visa can cover several visitor situations, including tourism, visiting family, sponsored family visits, business visitor activities, approved group travel, and frequent traveller arrangements.
All applicants usually need to show that they genuinely intend to stay temporarily, have enough support for the visit, meet public interest checks, and will not stay longer than the visa allows.
